when u get awkward bangs to cover ur awkward brows 🤦🏼🤦🏼🤦🏼
In other news... my face is FINALLY starting to lose the bloat again. I can definitely tell a difference in how long it takes me to lose the water retention in my face without the help of accupuncture. Unfortunately having tiny needles poked in me is just not in my budget at the moment. 😔
I'm now in day 4 of my h/c keto diet and the scale hasn't moved yet... but I'm trying to be patient. On a list of impatient ppl of the world, I'm close to the top, so I have to spend a lot of time reminding myself that this isn't an overnight change. I am not at fault. I am not self-sabotaging. I have a medical condition. My body needs time. I have. to give myself. TIME.⏳🙏🏼

While all of my coworkers go out for lunch...I sit here at my desk fasting. It really helps me clear my mind and I get to get away from the social aspects of work, which is nice for an ambivert like me.

Lunch- eggs, spinach, cauliflower, bacon, cheese and everything but the bagel seasoning with one slice of carbwise bread and butter! Dinner will be slow cooker creamy chicken thighs with bacon (recipe from @kaseytrenumblogger) and a side of broccoli! No snacks today just my bullet proof coffee and sunniva super coffee!! Macros are perfect and Ive met my daily goals for vitamins and minerals!! 👌🏼🙌🏼❤️ *(in my app it says that my macro goals are higher than they should be - I've adjusted them but for some reason it won't change on the nutrient breakdown - my macros should be 94g protein 20g net carbs and 116g fat)*

For those of you asking how to start a Keto Diet, here is a quick guide on some of the food items you can eat. The fun part is getting creative using these ingredients to make delicious meals 😋.

It would be really fucking difficult to put into fucking words how god damn delicious this fucking salad was. Ty Cobb salad from @madgreenseatbetter in Denver. You should order this piece of shit and put it directly into your Keto pie hole. This has blue cheese crumbles on it, but I use Ranch dressing because it’s Ranch or fuck you. Eat up bitches.

Saw this on my fellow IG ketonian @kindketomama and I had to share! This very popular Instagram and YouTube influencer @katy is doing keto and is sharing with her followers!!!! Talk about spreading the keto word! Look at how many followers she has. She has 2 million on IG and almost 2 million on YouTube! Hopefully it reaches the people who had doubts about keto or have been looking for an answer to get healtheir!

I want to point out something she said that I totally related to. She mentioned that keto has helped her thin out in places she hadn’t been able to.

That’s me! I am (was) a runner who would run 5-6 miles a day for years and my thighs never got thinner!!!!! With keto I finally see a difference in my thighs!

This weekend I was asked by a female, “Did keto help you get thinner thighs?” This lovely lady works out and has yet to achieve the results she wants in her thighs. I am glad that I was able to tell her, “Yes, keto made my thighs thinner!”

So today I tried tempeh for the first time and I’m hooked. I picked up this awesome salad from @culturesresto that has kale, roasted cauliflower, broccoli, strawberries and pumpkin seeds. I opted out of the carrot and quinoa it came with and added tomatoes. I topped it with my own @preschoice green goddess dressing and a bit of their own chipotle dressing. I’m definitely going to use tempeh on a more regular basis if I can fit it in my macros. #ketolife#salad#meatfree#ketovegetarian#tempeh

BEST. DAY. EVER!!! 15 months ago I was at my heaviest, weighing in at 259.6. I was ashamed, scared, humiliated, and my self worth was at an all time low. Then I got a new job where I could be active, my self-esteem started slowly coming back, and I began making better choices. A couple months later, my best friend and I started a clean-eating program that we followed to the T for the first 3 weeks and I did lose 9 lbs, but I didn’t make it the entire 30 days because it wasn’t sustainable for me. So I went back to just making mostly good choices and tracking my calories. A few months later I realized I really hadn’t made much progress. I’d lost 20 pounds but the scale wasn’t really moving anymore and I was frustrated. I’d been seeing my cousin posting recipes and talking about her Keto diet and I thought “meh...that seems like a fad thing and I don’t know about that...”. But then she kept posting her results, and I thought I’d look into it a little more. And I’m so glad I did because Keto has permanently changed my life! I immediately saw results, and so did everyone else. I fully embraced the food, the way I think about food, the fasting, the eating of fat to burn fat, the whole enchilada. I have never been happier or prouder of myself. Especially today when I officially passed the 50 pound weight loss mark! This is a happy happy day!!!

I just want to rave about my hubby for a second. He started drinking Keto//OS a couple of weeks ago and he can't believe the difference. He was such a skeptic when I brought home this little package. He thought it was just another scam or the next fad diet that doesn't work. But then I started ranting about how amazing I feel and how much energy I have, and how my mood was improving. I told him that I was down 8 inches in my waist in 10 days. He then told me to give him whatever magic I'm drinking because HE WANTED IN! Now hes HOOKED!
Now that he's been on it for a couple of weeks I asked him to describe to me how he felt. This is what he said..
- I feel like im superpowered (They forgot an Avenger)
- I don't want to binge eat anymore
- Work is way easier
-My coveralls feel like they belong to a giant
- I can see my toes without bending over LOL
- I can't wait to wake up in the morning to take my next dose
- I have all of my knuckles
-I can now jump up on my trailer with my feet first rather then go on one knee first...so things are looking up.
-I can't wait to see what the future has in store!!!

Last night dinner, fatty grilled lamb chops and some avocado oil, everything but the bagel, and 21 seasoning salute marinated cauliflower tossed on the grill. Added some homemade keto bleu cheese dressing to the cauliflower. Loving that the summer weather is here to grill and enjoy the outside. Less than 4 net carbs overall
